body scanners at airports...what do you think?

[Jack]

Each day there are over 80,000 commercial passenger flights over the US alone. Over the last 11 years, there has been less than 10 flights in the U.S. attacked by terrorists. Incase you weren't counting, that's 10 out of 321,200,000 flights.

Besides, as KMA has already stated, as well as pretty much everyone(even the TSA), the scanners would have stopped precisely zero of those attacks.

Interesting thing would be to know how many terrorist attempts were prevented thanks to scanners or other tools of that kind.

[Jack]

Precisely zero.

[Juliette]

Precisely zero.

Semantics, but you're right.

becuase of the scanners ect it's scared them off they know they can't do it.

[Cole]

Hmm I'm skeptical about this number...

Right, the scanners that were introduced in the ass end of last year scared away potential terrorists for the last 11 years.

You go on and be skeptical, but I see no data to prove me wrong.

well, we will have to agree to disagree this is ofc ure opinion don't mean mine will change but i have nothing to hide not embarrassed but i wouldn't just run around the street naked this isn't a big deal imo.

terrorism only came from humans being power hungry and incontroll so now we are paying the price and it will soon be higher.

None of what i said in the first paragraph was my opinion, it's fact as jack has explained to you.


I also remember reading an article somewhere about the TSA checking one of the scanners and it failed to find a hidden gun (could have been a knife) on a TSA agent...i've just come back from martial arts and i am knackered, i'll see if i can find it tomorrow.

I could go on forever listing sources to show that these "terrorists" are nothing more than assets for the worlds intelligence communities, but that should be enough for any person to start their own investigation.

@~Da Vinci~


Nothing to say?

huh sorry i don't really keep track of stuff i dn't care about lol, my comment earlier was semi joke but yeah i still think were doomed and crying about it over a gameing forum wont help us now.. if your that bothered about someone seeing you naked you need to grow up it's not really that big deal yes if you was to run around the airport naked might be a bit strange but just 1 person seeing barly anything not that big of a deal.

[~Dä Vinci~]

is all this knowlege and trying to prove a point over compensating for something?
thats the real reason u dn't want scanners..

[[KMA]Avenger]

@~Da Vinci~

You was the one that made the argument that you felt safe, i provided evidence which proves beyond doubt that what you said is a fallacy and you are no safer with these scanners than without-and you accuse me of being embarrassed?


Methinks you have no clue what you are talking about...unless you care to try and prove me wrong?

[~Dä Vinci~]

u don't want to be seen then don't go to the airport go fly with ryan air there probs show u how to make a bomb on the plane.... yes they can do all that but it should be just the neck down so you can't see the face? that way u just got a naked body which is not as bad.

[~Dä Vinci~]

well ive confused myself the only point im working on is you not wanting to go past the scanners were born nakes clothes are just a fashion statement.

[[KMA]Avenger]

You're not making any sense whatsoever first you talk about safety and that we need these machines to keep us safe, now you're talking about fashion statements and flying Ryan air so we can learn to make bombs...

The word Gobbledygook comes to mind.
